  • 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves chopped

  1. Take a large mixing bowl and add the puffed rice (murmura).
  2. Add the finely chopped tomato, cucumber and red onion to the bowl.
  3. Add chopped coriander leaves for freshness.
  4. Sprinkle roasted cumin powder, red chili powder, chaat masala and black salt (or regular salt) over the mixture.
  5. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything and toss gently but thoroughly so that spices coat the puffed rice evenly.

Notes

For extra crunch and nutrition, you can add a small handful of roasted peanuts or sprouted moong beans. Avoid adding sev or farsan if you want to keep this light and healthy.
